Might be a Hoeksemai

 

i don't think so. i think its a formosa. and it's a very very fast grower. which hoeksemai i've heard is not.

 

Sucks to hear about the problems. It always seems to happen when you are gone. At least most everything is ok.

 

i got everything sorted out. the STN on the echinata stopped after an emergency frag. and its recovering nicely. which i'm sooooo happy. it was doing so well.

I could really use a tank like this right now.

 

Looks like your have some room for more in there, are you just fragging from your 60G or are you adding pieces from outside?

mainly from the 65. but i've been slowly adding to this tank as well. when i come across small frags for cheap at the LFS i put them in this tank to grow out a bit before they go into the 65. i haven't adding anything to this tank in a while.

Looks like you have room for another tank in there :naughtydance:

If I could I would add another tank the same exact size and plumb it into the same sump. Oh the things I could do with 120 gallons. :)

 

Baha maybe one day. I'd kill for an 8x4x2ft display tank. I gotta stop typing or I'm gonna keep making bigger dreams. Lol

getting frustrated with color in this tank....

may end up getting another radion gen1 and getting rid of the loud halides..

i also need to do some major rearranging in the frag tank. maybe this week i will.

 

anyone got a good lighting recommendation? maybe a bulb switch, i'm running 14Ks now, with radions royal blues as supplement and its not helping much...

Would an 48" ATI unit not do the job well? With that said, there was (not sure if there still is) a radion gen 1 with the lens upgrades special running.

I'd love to go t5. But a used radion would be cheaper. I found a used one for $350. Might jump on that deal.

 

I'm going to show this to my fiancé so she knows that I want when we are looking to buy a house lol.

Bahahah! It's awesome to have I gotta admit. :P
